Joint Pain

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic disorder involving the joints. It is also called Degenerative Arthritis as it is related to the ageing process. In a healthy person, joint surface is covered with cartilage, which provides padding in it thereby acting as a smooth cushioning material inside joints and preventing bones from rubbing together. However, with progress of age and extensive use of joints, often with wrong postures or burdened with obesity, the cartilage gets damaged and starts to wear out completely; leaving the bone ends unprotected and causing painful joints. Joints that carry the body's weight are most likely to develop Osteoarthritis. Most commonly affected joints are knee joints and vertebral joints mainly in the neck and lower back.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that typically affects the lining of joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bony erosion and joint deformity. Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs when immune system attacks the synovial capsule - the lining of the membranes that surround the joints. Resulting inflammation thickens the synovial capsule, which can eventually destroy the cartilage and bone within the joint. Gradually, the joint loses its shape and alignment. Signs and symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis may include: tender, warm, swollen joints; morning stiffness that may last for hours, firm bumps of tissue under the skin on your arms (Rheumatoid nodules), fatigue, fever and weight loss. Over time, Rheumatoid Arthritis can cause joints to deform. The hand Read More

Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical Spondylosis is an age-related degeneration (wear and tear) of the bones (vertebrae) and discs in the neck. It tends to start sometime after the age of about 50.
One feature of the degeneration is that the edges of the vertebrae often develop small, rough areas of bone called osteophytes. Also, over many years, the discs become thinner. This degeneration is a normal ageing process. In many people, the degeneration does not cause any symptoms. Patients suffering from cervical spondylosis may show symptoms of pain, neck stiffness, limitation of movement, muscle weakness, sensory loss, loss of balance. In extremely severe cases, if the spinal cord is affected, there will be loss of balance and also loss of bladder & bowel control. Nowadays, most available treatments address acute Read More

Lumbar Spondylosis
Lumbar Spondylosis can include a variety of symptoms, the most common of which are pain, tingling, numbness and weakness that begin in your lower back and radiate through your buttocks, hips, legs, feet and toes. Lumbar Spondylosis is a general term that describes degeneration of the spine, but it does not describe the specific source of symptoms. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Nowadays, most available treatments address acute flare-ups, but ignore chronic or longstanding issues. Moreover, overuse of painkillers can lead to serious side effects. For severely damaged joints, surgery is often advised. However, effective solution has been achieved through Fundamentals of Ayurveda, Unani and Therapeutic Yoga which is completely safe and natural.

Gout
Gout is a kind of Arthritis. It can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness, and swelling of a joint, usually a big toe. An acute attack of Gout can wake you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire. The affected joint is hot, swollen and so tender that even the weight of a sheet on it may seem intolerable. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. When uric acid levels in the blood are too high, it may form hard crystals in joints. Chances of getting Gout are higher if you are overweight, drinking too much alcohol or taking too much red meat and fish that are high in purines. Treatment depends on the specific underlying cause. Nowadays, most available treatments address acute flare-ups, but ignore chronic or longstanding issues. Mor Read More
